Got a question about tires

All everyone, I am in the market or will be soon for new tires and I was wondering how many of you have experience with Nitto Exo grapplers. I cant find a whole lot on them on Youtube or anywhere else. I will be running 35x12.50R20 size on my '14 F150 I do a fair bit of highway and gravel/mud driving. I have mud tires on now and I enjoy them but I need something a little less aggressive and something that will last a little longer then 35 000 kms. One reason I am going to these as compared to another mud tire is because these are winter rated and a bit more aggressive A/T tire which I like. I don't have to give up a whole lot of performance in mud gravel and deep snow. Thanks for any & all help

Hey so I'm looking to get new tires also, I started with the Toyo Open Country MT 35x12.5R18 on my F150, that was August of 2013. my friend has the same size but the Nittos that youre looking at and her tire life was almost a year shorter than mine. We both use our trucks as daily drivers and a fair amount of trails and mud pit outings. They have also done great here in the snow but considering I live in Virginia, I dont get record snow. I feel like my MT Toyos lasted longer than I expected with all the highway drives I do. Not sure if this helps at all but if youre going to spend 1600$ on tires I'd go for life expectancy and performance which i think the toyo has.

I was also looking at these tires as well but its a bit hard to find a dealer for them where I live which isn't a big deal I can probably travel to find a dealer to get them. Do you happen to know how many km's (miles) she got out of the exo grapplers as well as how many km's (miles) you got out of the open country M/T? Thanks

Im pushing 80k she made it to 68k. we just had this conversation yesterday. and honestly, discounttiresdirect.com has really competitive prices. We have access to a hobby shop on our bases so we even put the tires on ourselves to avoid extra costs. only thing we have to pay for outside of the tires is the alignment.
